    Exactly. Elon’s loyalty comes cheap, just like Trump’s.

      I wouldn’t call it loyalty, I don’t think Elon or Trump are actually capable of loyalty.

      I believe the term is favor. Putin has easily earned Trump and Elon’s favor, because all these rich assholes see themselves as modern day lords and ladies. Which is true in a way, it’s just that they also have all the stupidity, cruelty, and corruption of medieval lords.
